Join a Game..

  When that is pressed, we shouldn't be then put into a game like we 'created' it..

  Got no choice of course and invariably someone joins immediately and then if I want to pull out (because of not wanting to wait for the game to fill up) it must seem like I left BECAUSE of that person. (seems ignorant)

  If I want to create a game I will press 'create a game', join should mean join.

  Should be easy to implement WGT ?

  PREACH!!!  who doesn't agree?  I think we all do.

  Also, it seems if we leave 'any' type of game (scored/ranked/challenge/practice) that we are left with an empty search and try again.  Yet, if we narrow the type to say, scored, booom.....we are either placed in a game or like you say Andy, forced to be the 'host' of a game we don't want.  Same holds true with level of play selected, while not as often, but if left as any, then often the search is unfilled untlil we narrow that field as well.

  I understand this suggestion and I made sure the higher ups heard about it. Essentially, when someone creates a game, a lobby is created. When the "creator" leaves, the game does not disband if there is someone else in the lobby.

  The "creator" becomes the next person already in the lobby. I have experienced the same situation, Andy, where you click "Join a game" and suddenly you are the "creator", waiting for more players to join.

  I imagine this happens when the rare combination of events happen so that the "creator" is the only person in the game and as they leave, you join, before the game lobby is disbanded for not having any players.

  Thanks for the feedback, we're always listening :)

  I've noticed when the "creator" leaves, the next person up doesn't always see everyone, and quite often does not get the select teammate box and we are stuck as if still searching for players.  This is in alt shot.
